Day 10: Virginia to Connecticut
We woke up around 10:00 and visited with my Aunt and Uncle and then went to breakfast and showed them our photo slide show of the trip. We really enjoyed our visit with them. Afterwards we headed over to my grandmother’s (she lives in the same area) and picked up some stuff to bring back…

Day 9: Travel Day Pensacola to Reston VA
Well this trip took forever, or at least it seemed like it. We left Pensacola around 11:30 am CST, and it seemed like forever to get to Alabama. Then Alabama seemed to take forever to go through. We got stuck in residual accident traffic in Atlanta and South Carolina, which really added time to the…

Day 8: Pensacola Beach and Ft. Pickens

Afterwards we drove up to the Residence Inn and “borrowed” some high speed internet to do some research about where to go and what times. Caught up with Kevin and Jamie, and kindly enough Mike helped me turn off iChat…

We made a stop in Biloxi as per Jamie’s recommendation. It was definitely a lot more laid back than New Orleans. There were…

Day 4: New Orleans
Well….I know most people love New Orleans. And maybe because I had a different image in my head, I’m not exactly wowed and enamored by this place. Don’t get me wrong it’s very different from anywhere else. But I wouldn’t put it on my top 10 list of places I’d like to go back and…

Odd Billboards
Ok, I’ve got to write about this, because this is now the 4th billboard I’ve seen for “Microsurgical Vasectomy Reversal”. These are the questions I’ve got. 1) Are there that many men who got married had vasectomies, got divorced, remarried and now want to have kids that dictates whole billboards? 2) Other than remarrying and…
